- The problem is with olvwm or olwm. They do not put the marked test in X cut
- buffer. I use Frame Maker on SUN under Motif and cut/paste works fine.
- You may also do following (see FAQ)
-
- Under OpenWindows 2, you need to add the following either to your
- $HOME/.Xdefaults file, or to $OPENWINHOME/lib/app-defaults/XTerm instead:
-
- XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
- <Key>L6:select-set(CLIPBOARD)\n\
- <Key>L8:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)
-
- Under OpenWindows 3, this is already in the app-defaults file, so if it
- isn't working, check that XFILESEARCHPATH is set to
- /usr/openwin/lib/%T/%N%S
- and if it isn't, either set it or copy/merge the above lines from
- $OPENWINHOME/lib/app-defaults/XTerm into /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.
-
- Hope this helps.
